Thanatos couldn't help but
Thanatos couldn't help but laugh at Axis, he clearly did not think of the consequences of challenging Death itself.
Thanatos lifted his blade and pointed it at Axis, "memini quia infirmantem" Thanatos growled as the blade slowly glowed.
He rushed towards Axis and slashed him leaving deep holes on both of Axis' shoulder. "memento estis soliciti" he cackled as his blade shined more.
Without wasting time, Thanatos kicked his stomach and sent Axis flying to the air, he jumped and slashed his chest with his blade. "memoriam vestri sunt et stulti" Thanatos whispered as his blade glowed brighter.
He slashed Axis continuously leaving many cuts on his body, Thanatos grinned and knocked him down using the hilt of his sword. "memento solus es"
Thanatos laughed as he looked at Axis, unable to retaliate and was severely injured. "memento tibi morte morietur"
He raised his blade which is now covered in dark purple runes, he smiled at Axis and whispered to him. "recordatus fuero, Mors"
Before Thanatos was able to slay Axis, a blade locked with his own, a Fearless Rigaddon... It was...
"Gwen! non impediturum!" Thanatos hissed as he twirled his blade and slashed Gwen's shoulder. She withstood the attacks and was released from the lock and kicked Thanatos away from her.
"Gwenyvier- I shall kill you!" Thanatos growled and flicked his fingers, the book dropped to his hand.
______________ edit after this-
The Core was awakened, it seems that it somehow took interest in Cleo and it answered her question.
"You are still young, my dear child, so I will not hold that against you. Understand that while you may have the ability to consume my power, it is not wise to take it. Can you support this world, my child? If you will care for it, feed it, and love it with all your might, I would gladly give you my power without contest. Show me that you are able to love without fail or condition, and I may yet pass it down to you. But if you take it forcibly, I will not be able to arrange the transfer seamlessly, and this world will fall into chaos. Choose wisely what you will do."
Cleo just stared at the Core, still only interested in the beauty of it.
"Love...? There is no love... I once loved... And he betrayed me- as if I'm just another disposable tool... Why would I care, love and treat anything kindly? I have never been done that by anyone, they all think that I'm a freak... And I will save them, by acquiring this power... To spread darkness so none shall ever feel sad, alone and they would never see the truth- because the truth hurts."
The Core then became silent and soon after that another creature appeared in front of Cleo- it is a no ordinary one. He spoke to her.
Can you hold the Vorpal Sword? Can you command it's energies to seek only the sinful, and not the innocent? Would you be our savior, or our tormentor? Will thoust slay the Dark Jabberwock that creeps in the shadows of our hearts? If you take on this Sword, you must promise me and the Great Goddess Alice that you will only use it on the sinful, the ones who have slain the innocent. You must be our savior, for if not this planet is damned. And finally, you must promise that you will show strength, wisdom, and unity, to those who are lost. Will thoust do these things, and will thou save our souls?
"Shut up... Shut up... shut up... shut up... SHUTUP!" Cleo shrieked as she brandished her axe, she looked at the creature with fury on her eyes. "I... I need power... I will kill if I... Must..."
If thou has evil intentions, you will be unable to claim this sword, and if you claim it and your heart turns dark, you will shut off our power, and the Clockworks will be Sealed, and everyone, even you, will suffer the hell it will become. Choose wisely, to be a Savior, to turn your back on this power, or to damn us all.
"No... Graaaaaagh!" Cleo roared as she swung her axe at the creature who dodged it with ease, she gritted her teeth and continued slashing wildly.
"IT'S MINE! IT'S MINE!" a malicious voice echoed from Cleo's mind, suddenly something came out from her back... A knight or a Morai to be exact, she looked the same as Cleo but only that she has red pigtails.
"W-what?!" Cleo shrieked as the Morai choked her, "Who are... You..."
"YOU WILL REMEMBER MY NAME ONCE MORE CLOTHO, IT IS I, YOUR SISTER ATROPOS"

Vin pulled out his thorn blade, and also sent a current of heat through it. He presses them together, and a bright light makes Sanctuary at least 50 shades brighter. When he is done, he comes out with something similar to this:
http://darksouls.wikidot.com/black-knight-greatsword
((Yes, I know that is a Dark Souls weapon. But it's the closest thing I could find :L))
"Still a bit clunky," comments Vin as he heaves it up on his shoulder, "but it's at least somewhat lighter."
A tiny part of his eyes have flecks of red-orange.

Watching in horror
Before Thanatos could slay Axis, Gwen darted in front of him and locked blades with her Fearless Rigadoon. She still remembered Thanatos's last words to her, that he would kill her and take her power the next time they met. None of that mattered to her, now that the life of another hung in the balance. Summoning the remainder of her courage, she broke the sword lock and pushed Thanatos away. She twirled her sword, readying herself for another attack.

Some random notes
((
Gwen's major weakness is that she cannot watch people die without intervening. For this reason, she has never led an army, and it is the cause of her recent Fall (from observing the Haven bloodbath). She harbors a dormant fear of her own death.
A knight's bodysuit provides several functions: it grants 5 pips of armor (but no resistance), removes all waste directly from the bloodstream and converts it to crystal energy (which is optionally teleported to Spiral HQ), rapidly heals bodily wounds, and provides basic immune support. The Digital Mask covers the knight's head, and it is responsible for the knights' robotic appearance. It provides an oxygen filter, oxygen supply, a Head-Up Display, and vision enhancement system (responsible for the glowing eyes).
Isorans and Valkyries are the same race. However, Valkyries were genetically modified to grow wings, and are much more adept at channeling their energies (often perceived as magic).

Intervene
(Seatus)
I bellow a roar that leaves the pairs' ears ringing. I whip my tail and send thorns flying, pinning themselves three feet under, leaving the two pinned by their own skin. "Thou cannot hold the power of the Vorpal Sword, therefore not the Core. Why seek this power, child, if you are only to destroy yourself with it? You must be one of the other gods...." She, no, THEY, disgust me. If they cannot hold their primitive instincts back, they are not worthy...
"You will not hold the power. You are obviously darkened by the only thing worse than the Swarm. Selfishness. Bloodlust. Greed. Many things can be name for the darkness within you. You could listen to my counseling, or join the ranks of the damned." I say, and spread my wings as they turn a deep rich red color, growing in size. Thorns along the ends of them stand ready, poisoned with my own personal sin, bloodlust.
"All beings, no matter what kind, have their own deadly sin."

Some ideas... And a bunch more text!
((@Seatus: Unless you already have some ideas for the abilities of the Elemental Dagger, I'd like to make some suggestions:
The Dagger utilizes the three main elements: Fire, Ice, and Electricity. Hence the different colors. When the wielder is outside of battle, the sword is colorful (the way it was when Seatus gave it to Triv). When the wielder is locked in combat, the sword will glow according to the wielder's emotions. This means that, if Trivoc is angry, the Dagger will glow a bright red, and perhaps catch on fire. If he is feeling cold, or emotionless, it will glow light blue, and become covered in a powerful frost. If he is feeling energetic (such as, when he is tense or having an adrenaline rush) then the sword will glow Bright blue, and spasm with electrical bolts that twirl around it.
I think it would be interesting, seeing as it grants the wielder versatility, but they would have to struggle with controlling their emotions, in order to use the sword to its maximum potential.
Just an idea :)
))
Chappers
The young Knight had wandered away from the group, trying to see if there was anything else interesting in The Sanctuary. He also wanted to make the most of the time that they had before they needed to fight Diablo. [I dunno how much use I'll be against that guy, he threw all of us around like ragdolls...] Chappers thought.
In the middle of his deep-thinking, he failed to notice that he had come across a section of The Sanctuary that was much closer to The Core. And he also saw, some sort of female Morai, hacking away at The Core with a menacing battle-axe.
[I, uhh... Don't think I should be here.] Chappers thought as he started moving away. Before he had gotten far though, he heard a booming voice shout. "YOU WILL REMEMBER MY NAME ONCE MORE CLOTHO, IT IS I, YOUR SISTER ATROPOS" It said.
The Cobalt Knight turned around and saw another female Morai, strangling the one with the battle-axe. Chappers knew that whatever was happening was none of his business, but in light of recent events (AKA: Diablo's release) the Knights and Morai needed each other. He started walking back in their direction, when Seatus suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked them.
"You will not hold the power. You are obviously darkened by the only thing worse than the Swarm. Selfishness. Bloodlust. Greed. Many things can be name for the darkness within you. You could listen to my counseling, or join the ranks of the damned." The winged Snarbolax said threateningly.
"All beings, no matter what kind, have their own deadly sin." Seatus continued, pointing his spikes at the two Morai.
Chappers decided to run forward and intervene. "Hey Seatus, wait!" The Knight said, moving in between them. "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't think we should go around skewering everyone at the first sign of personality flaw. Maybe we should give them a chance?" Chappers said, hoping that The Snarbolax would not kill him too.
He turned to the two Morai pinned to the ground and spoke in a softer voice. "Uhh... My friend isn't in a very talkative mood right now. So, maybe it'll be better if you two play nice for now. If, that's alright." He said trying to reason with them, hoping that they wouldn't try to kill him either.
((I think it would be interesting to have a debate about philosophies between Chappers and Cleo, don't you agree Infernus? :) ))
Trivoc
"Boys..." Ikaros scoffed as Trivoc practiced with his new weapon. This drew a laugh from the Isoran. The Uranus Queen then pulled him to her with surprising strength and spoke. "Just so you know, If you die... I'll kill you. Do NOT die." She said, looking Trivoc in the eyes. "Is that an order, my Queen?" The Knight asked in his formal voice.
Ikaros smiled. "Yes, that's an order." She said. the two stared at each other for along while, before Trivoc decided [To heck with it...] and moved in to kiss her. He was interrupted however by another voice.
"D' awww" It said. the two of them turned to look at the source, and saw Arkus standing close to them, appearing to be crying tears of joy. "I'm sorry *sniff* This is just too cute... Group hug?" the Guardian asked. Trivoc and Ikaros just looked at each other quizzically. Trivoc turned back to Arkus. "Uhh... how long have you been ther-" He started, but was stopped when The Guardian enveloped both of them in a bear hug, lifting both of them off the ground. Arkus then put them both down.
The trio just stared at each other for a while. Trivoc and Ikaros were still confused by the whole thing, while The Guardian smiled like a child who had just gotten a new toy. "Anyway, have you two lovebirds seen Chappers around? I haven't seen the little guy in a while." He said. "Umm, no. do you reckon we should go look for him?" Trivoc asked. "Yeah, it'll give me something to do. But if you two need to be alone then I can look for him myself." Arkus replied.
"No it's fine, we'll help you out." Trivoc said. "Alright then, let's get going." The Guardian said as he led the way. Trivoc leaned closer to Ikaros and whispered. "We'll probably have a better chance of being alone the farther we are from the group, anyway." He said softly, remembering just how many of them there were in the current area.

Battle to the Death!
Gwen grimaced at the shoulder lash, but did her best to ignore it. She jabbed at Thanatos and boosted behind him. He swung at her, hoping to generate an opening, but she instead flipped over him and stabbed him again. The stab stunned him, so she took the opportunity to kick him in the gut and plunge her sword into his shoulder. He screeched in pain and stabbed her through the leg. Now crippled, she had no other option: she extended her wings, flew up, and dive-bombed him. He dodged, and she came back around. She now hovered on her wings in front of him. A fireball struck him from behind, and Gwen fired another one. Thanatos used his sword and deflected it back at Gwen, burning her. Had she not previously modified her armor, she would have burned to death. As it was, she screamed and engulfed herself in ice, canceling out the fire. She then fired a shadow ball, which Thanatos deflected again. But this time, Gwen was prepared, and she deflected it too. It hit Thanatos, but did minimal damage. She tried to follow up on her success with a thunderball, but she was skewered before she could finish.
Wounded and exhausted, she collapsed to her knees.
((@Infernus: if you write your own version of the fight, I will combine our scenes and edit the new one into my post.))

As I watched trivoc, arkus, and Ikaros, I remembered something. I reached into my back and pulled out a cannon at least two times bigger. I pointed it to the sky and fired it. "Happy birthday to me!". As the cannon shot out confetti.

Two Arbiter of Death?!
Cleo looked in horror at the person as he pinned the two to the ground with his thorns, she once read about something similar to this- a powerful creature that resides in Cradle for a long time already... could this be the Snarbolax?
"Thou cannot hold the power of the Vorpal Sword, therefore not the Core. Why seek this power, child, if you are only to destroy yourself with it? You must be one of the other gods...." the Snarbolax roared at her, he looked at Cleo with disgust on his face.
"G....gods? I.... don't understand..." Cleo mumbled and looked at her identical who claimed herself as Atropos. "Who are you...?"
"Ssssilence! The Arbiter of Death has no more reasonssss to talk with you!" Atropos hissed as she scratched Cleo's face, she pulled the thorn that pinned her to the ground with ease. "A true fool you are Ssseatus! To dare challange Death itsssself!"
"You will not hold the power. You are obviously darkened by the only thing worse than the Swarm. Selfishness. Bloodlust. Greed. Many things can be name for the darkness within you. You could listen to my counseling, or join the ranks of the damned." Seatus spoke as he spread his wings which turned into the color of blood.
"Bloodlussst.... I could sssse it in your very eye... I have no time for you.... for now, I have mattersss to attend for now... I mussst meet my counterpart... Thanatosss...." Atropos flicked her fingers and a black portal appeared behind her, "I shall leave Clotho... for you to deal with... I sssshal return for the Core ssssoon...."
With those words, she cackled and disappeared into the darkness. Leaving Cleo defenseless against the bloodthirsty creature.
Promissa dies venient, ubi mors erit contributuros semel more ... nihil relinquitur vanitas, quam universa consumas tenebris ... Gaude! Gaude! Venit ad veram salutem: vestra mortes!
____________
Thanatos still had his face determined to kill Axis, but Gwen had interfered forcing him to fight her instead. "I have no time for you!" he growled and opened his book, "Gwenyvier.... hmmm... interesting... an ex-Enforcer.... I still don't understand this whole relationship of you... Kirito and Diablo..." Thanatos grumbled as he closed his book.
"Nonetheless, it seems that you will be a meal fit for the king.... that will soon devour this planet..." he grinned and rushed towards Gwen, they both locked blades as a powerful surge of shadow and elemental energy collided with one another. "Let the grand feast begin!"

Or what you, Infernus, call Tartarus. But, like Tartarus and monsters, the God will always come back in the form of something or another something.))
(Seatus)
I see a person come and stand in front of Clotho. He doesn't understand that she would have doomed us all and brought on the Armageddon of Cradle. I say, "Chappers, this isn't of your concern, she could have killed all of us with one unintentional mood. Darkness cannot wield such the Power of the Core, for the Sword is too heavy in their hands." I send thorns whirling in his direction, throwing him forty feet back and stuck to a wall, but only by his clothes. I turn to Clotho, "That coward. She always was a weak-willed one. You have one final answer to give me. Join the damned, or I let you go and never see your greed around the Core ever again. Why do you need such power, exactly? Fear can make people do silly things...are you afraid of someone, Clotho?"
If that, I send a thousand spikes at Clotho, knowing she would come out alive....

Reporting In
Axis contacted the swarm. Things were looking grim, even though Gwen was the queen of the valkyries, Thanatos however was the god of death, how could they possibly be able to stand against the incarnation of evil? "We need backup, the valkyrie is here, but I don't know how long she'll last against Thanatos." "I can give you more power, but you'll have to accept my help, do you want it?" Axis thought about this, he hated that he couldn't help the very people trying to save his life. "Yes." Axis said simply. His wounds started to heal, his scales disappeared, replaced with swarm armor, he lost his reptilian features, now he wore his old mask, under his hood. He felt, more alive then before. He stood up, and struck out at Thanatos, he had gotten the better of him the first time, it wouldn't be the same outcome this time.

Daww. . . Looks like Dagoon's pretty much alone.
"Considering that Gwen's gone right now, I'd guess that this is the-" She looked around. Only three people. Archemiday, Thrynn and Kirito.
(No idea where Vin is, sorry.) "Huh. Where'd everybody go?" Archemiday was plying with a . . . Happy Birthday cannon? And Thrynn had decided to join in, which left Kirito. . . Blanking out. "Sigh. . ." Dagoon looked for a flat area to write. (I will be back soon, Hunting for materials for Thrynn.)
Dagoon slowly walked across the room to the elevator with her sack of supplies and other things.
(Also, happy birthday Archemiday!)
Sigh. . . This forum seems pretty empty, and when I have free time, I am usually actively waiting for something to happen.

Two hours into the future...
((@Liminori: time to rectify that!))
While Dagoon was hunting for materials to use for Thrynn, she spotted a female knight wearing a brown cavalier hat over a loose, flowing raiment resembling Valkyrie Mail. The knight carried an Antigua and what looked like a Sealed Sword, but without the seals or any glow. This knight didn't even have the characteristic digital mask; her feminine face was visible underneath the hat.
There was a trace of a scar under her right eye.

Dagoon approached with caution. "Are you an enemy or friend? It would be advisable to decide quickly, before I make up my mind."

Teleported or Mind-Warped?
Dagoon cautiously approached the lady. "Are you an enemy or friend? I advise you to decide quickly before I do it for you." The lady sheathed her sword and pistol. "I dunno. You don't look like an enemy, so I don't plan on being one. I'm Valentine of the Rose, Enforcer under Almirian High Chancellor Lord Brandell. I received a distress call to this planetoid, plunged through some creepy black stuff, and was just told by some white lady named 'Alice' that I was to receive her power."
She looked around. "I don't think I ever got it. I'm glad I wasn't teleported to some Vog-forsaken world, but...where the heck am I??" After looking over Dagoon, she quietly added, "And are you by any chance related to Rhendon?"

Vin puts his massive blade away, and takes a moment to look around Sanctuary for a moment. He then spies the Alpha Squad, and walks on over to them.

@Vinnydime & Azure-Orbit
(Archemiday and Thrynn are also still there.)
Dagoon flinched upon hearing the name Rhendon. It was a name that their family had used a long time ago.
"Yes, We're. . . Distantly related. Along the line of how many there have been, you would refer to me as the fifth, although everybody else knows me as Dagoon. As for where you are, you are on what I have learned to be called Cradle."

The A-Squad!
((Given the fact that Alpha Squad is an NPC group, feel free to take control of them :) ))
Grantz
He was still winded from the thrashing that Diablo had given him, but The Sanctuary was slowly healing him. He spotted their leader, Euclid, speaking with someone who called himself the Mars King. [What's the point of all these fancy titles? It would be much simpler to call them by name] The Guardian thought. He was interrupted however.
"I take it that you are..." The voice asked. Grantz turned around to see a Knight, donning a Snarbolax Coat, and Grey Feather Cowl. "Ah, I didn't notice you before. The battle was pretty heated a while ago huh? Anyway, my name is Grantz, Guardian Knight. And who might you be?" the Guardian asked, extending his hand towards the Knight.

Location, location, location...
Valentine found a divine pipe on the ground, dusted it off, and pulled out a lighter. She tried and failed to lite it up. "How do you lite this darn thing?" ((You're supposed to just shake it.)) Dagoon shook it, and it lit up. Valentinte grinned sheepishly. "Wow. Okay!" She gave it a puff, and frowned. "Real smoke this ain't. But it'll have to do."
She puffed a couple times and answered Dagoon. "So you're the...fourth in the line? I must have been teleported into the future." She shook her head in dismay. "At any rate, I may have arrested your great...great...grandfather, I think. Maybe it's just one 'great.' It was a long time ago, even by my standards. Anyhoo, he was an oddity. He was unusually hairy for an Ilsolan, and had some interesting body structures. I recognized the features on you." She took another puff, and nodded in satisfaction. "These are actually kinda tasty." She continued. "Cradle, eh? Very odd name. What's so special about this place? I mean, Alice must have teleported me here for a good reason, right? 'Cause if she was just pulling my leg, I'm gonna blow off hers." She winked slyly.
She checked the wound in her gut to see if it was still bleeding. It wasn't.

Story. . .
Heh, my father always was good at being a Pirate king. (Explanatory- Grandfather's wife was a gremlin. This is possibly proof that Dagoon is just breaking space and time by even existing) ((EDIT: Dagoon is the fifth, my bad! Second is NEFFER talked about.)) Nobody really likes talking about my grandfather, the third, because he decided to marry a Gremlin.
The only thing that really makes this place special is A: the core, and B: The clockworks. The clockwors is like a giant robotic enviroment, but every depth, as in elevator depth, is bits of other worlds sort of. The core is a source of energy, that many isorans went after to repair the (Crap, Forgot!). (Just because it's funny, I'll get this wrong on purpose. The USG Ishimura right? XD)

Herp.
Kirito
I nodded at the Isoran, who introduced himself as Euclid. I smiled at his compliment of my quickness in escaping the Core and said "Thank you. But the fact that you and your squad escaped at ALL is what earns you my respect. Ah, where are my manners? I am Kirito Sakurai, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Euclid grinned and slapped me on the back in a show of friendship. "Hey, hey, no need to be formal, bro. Loosen up a bit." I smiled at this Isoran: he seemed to be a good fellow. I had a feeling he would be a great friend.
"Sure thing... Bro."
-----------------------------------------
Ikaros
For a few long moments, Trivoc and i just gazed into each other's eyes. Finally, he pulled closer, attempting a kiss- and i would have gladly returned it, had Arkus not interrupted. The Guardian acted like a schoolgirl, he was so giddy at the sight of us. Funny, since many of the burly Guardians i had met were bullies at one point. Arkus was unusually kind; sort of like an overgrown teddy Wolver."Daww... Im sorry, you two are just so cute together." he sighed. The Guardian asked for a group hug, and i looked questioningly at Trivoc; he seemed to know what would happen next. He asked warily, "How long have you been there-" but was interrupted when Arkus scooped us up in his arms as if we were no heavier than Snipes and hugged us like we were adorable newborns.
When Arkus -thank Vog- finally put us down, he asked, "Hey, have you two lovebirds seen Chappers around? I haven't seen the little guy in a while." Trivoc and i both blushed furiously, but Arkus didn't notice. Trivoc inquired, "Umm, no. Do you reckon we should go look for him?" Arkus nodded, "Yeah it'll give me something to do." I was about to protest by saying that I wanted to be alone with Trivoc, but the Guardian apparently knew what i was thinking and said, "But if you two need to be alone then i can look for him myself."
"No it's fine, we'll help you out." Trivoc said with a shake of his head. "Alright then, let's get going." Arkus said as he led the way. Trivoc leaned closer to me and whispered. "We'll probably have a better chance of being alone the farther we are from the group, anyway." He said quietly. I nodded and slipped my arm under his. I let my head drop onto his shoulders and sighed.
For once, I would get some peace and quiet.

Halt!
(Seatus)
The thorns stop in midair, inches from her face. I couldn't kill her, not like this. "Get out of my sight." I drop down, pull the thorns out of her woth ease, which instantly heal. "There is a bigger problem at hand," I say. "The Final has escaped his prison, having devoured some of my blood. You are free to go, but I am Sealing the Core back up."
I turn around and face the Core. "Alice! Seal this back up until the correct Aces are final!" The giant metal playing cards move to the side of the Core, and insert themselves in. The Core slams it's floating pieces together, and the hole from Kirito seals up. Not anyone will get in or out now, not even a master of teleportation. This...this will all have to wait. I walk quickly away to a shadow, and teleport to Sanctuary. I stroll to the water and look in. "I need a disguise. Please."
Alice appears behind my reflection. She grins and silently places a broad-brimmed black hat over my head, wrap a black trenchcoat around my shoulders, one with a high collar to hide most of my face, and covers my feet with black boots. I throw darkness around myself, and I look like any other Knight, as far as my clothes go. My red eyes still shine beneath the hat. A force pushes me backwards onto my back as the Beast explodes from the waters. It roars and is suddenly enveloped into a mist. As the mist dissipates, I see that it is simply gone. This is bad. The Swarm and the Core locked it away for a good reason. Whatever the case, I withdraw two thorns from underneath my coat, their purity shining within their white. I run out of Sanctuary.
It's time to go hunting.

Gonna be leaving soon
((Heading off somewhere in a bit. I suppose I'll see you all later :D.
@Vinnydime: Take control of Grantz and/or other members of Alpha Squad if you feel like talking to them.))
Grantz
"How was your time in the Core? Was there anything you saw in there? Sorry, I'm not exactly a Knight anymore. Just a traveller on Cradle." said the Isoran, not answering Grantz's question. [He's a bit rude, but company is company. And Rulen isn't exactly the first person I'd choose to be with alone, heh.] He said, reminiscing about their time in the Core.
"It was strange, but nice. It just felt good to be away from battle, from duty, from... everything. the lady of The Core was very nice as well. She kept us alive during our whole stay there. The Core isn't much different from The Sanctuary, if you're wondering how it looks. As for not being a Knight, don't worry your head about it. An Isoran is an Isoran, be they military or not." the Guardian said in a friendly manner.
"May I ask again, who you are?" Grantz said.
Trivoc
Ikaros slipped her arms underneath his, leaned against his shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relaxation. Trivoc smiled as the two of them walked together, behind Arkus. The close proximity between him and Ikaros gave him such an un-explainable feeling of elation. It was new to him, considering the fact that he hadn't had a girlfriend before. [Wrong, you almost had someone before. But she got killed... because I wasn't strong enough to protect her... I hope that I can do better for Ikaros...] He reminisced.
So many people he knew had died, and he was powerless to help them. His entire squad, assassinated (He was only spared because he was outside the Garrison at the time). Bennyre: his best friend who sacrificed himself to save Trivoc. And Nomata: The woman he loved before, but failed to save. [I guess there's a reason why I'm not a Guardian...] He thought, sadly.
While they continued walking through the white landscape, Trivoc looked at Ikaros. He thought that he ought to say something to her, but couldn't find the words. So, he turned away again. [Please, give me the strength to protect the people I care for... this time...] He prayed silently.

Backup
Things were not going as planned. Although Gwen and him were doing significant damage to Thanatos, all he'd do is cackle teleport and come back, eating a leg or arm of a poor Knight or Morai, and healing with every bite. It was gruesome and sickening. Their stamina was being depleted, fast. He was being pushed back by the brutality of Thanatos' attacks. He got two strikes on Thanatos' shoulders, while receiving a cut across his stomach. "Thank Vog for the swarms regenerative abilities." as he thought that the wound was healing slowly. But he was still being controlled by Thanatos' whim. That was before a deafening gun shot rang out. He remembered it well, it was the same gun that had shot off his left arm. He looked back at the grimacing face of Kazam. He gestured at both Axis and Thanatos. "Step away from the lady, both of you." Before he could speak, Thanatos let out a dastardly laugh. "Another trying to toy with death?" "I'll eat well tonight."

Death reunites?!
It was an intense battle, Gwen was able to injure Thanatos with her fast stabs, but it didn't got her far enough. Her leg was crippled by the powerful strike Thanatos delivered to her using his blade.
"Ignavus!" Thanatos grumbled as Gwen took of to the sky with her wings, she dive-bombed towards Thanatos who dodged it quickly. Now Gwen is hovering right in front of him, she fired a burning fireball at Thanatos' back. She fired another one but this time Thanatos reflected it using his sword- much like the sport that Isorans called 'Golf'.
"Hoooole in one!" Thanatos cackled as he watched the girl burning herself, Gwen then engulfed herself in ice which quickly ceased the fire. She then fired a shadow ball towards Thanatos who reflected it ease, "Anothe great shot fro-"
But this time, Gwen was already prepared as she reflected the shadow ball back towards Thanatos, which dealt a very minimum amount of damage. "Hey! That is foul!" Thanatos growled as he rushed towards Gwen who was about to launch a follow-up attack- but Thanatos' blade had already found it's way into Gwen's stomach.
Wounded and exhausted, she collapsed to her knees. "Valkyrie 0 - Death 1!" Thanatos laughed as he proceeded to take Gwen's power, but suddenly she disappeared right in front of him in a blink if an eye. "Tch, coward!" Thanatos growled and returned his attention to Axis,
"Forgive me for leaving you half-unattended, I'll make sure that you can still become a tasty snack..." Thanatos bowed respectfully at Axis and rushed towards him, he was about to deliver his death blow but a deafening gun shot rang out.
"Who... Are you..?" Thanatos asked the stranger who's body was severely injured, it seems that there was a fight before... But who could have done such injuries? Not even Thanatos would go that far....
He opened his book and opened the page which had a large letter 'K' imprinted on the corner of it.
"Gor'kazam.... Ah... What? No... You've become acquainted with Clotho... She spared you... Interesting..."
"Step away from the lady, both of you." Kazam gestured at both of them, but Thanatos clapped his hands before Kazam could say anything else.
"How amusing! You dared to fight the force of life itself and now you dare to challenge death? Mortals are very foolish... Can man defeat a God? The banquet of blood bath has just begin!" Thanatos laughed at them all, but suddenly he felt a very disturbing presence approaching.... "W-what is this power?! Could this.... Hahah...."
A girl in a black dress appeared behind Thanatos and hugged him, "It hasss been a long time Thanatosss...." the girl whispered to him gently, "I did not expect mysssself to meet you here...."
"Atropos... I have never.... expected you here...." Thanatos smiled as he returned the hug to her, "Say... I believe we don't have any business here anymore... We should go and find more weaker mortals to eat!"
They both laughed and disappeared into darkness, as Thanatos was about to enter the portal, he frowned at Gwen and whispered a silent words at her.
"Forgive me Gwen."
______________
Cleo closed her eyes, waiting until something will happen- but as she opened her eyes, Seatus released her from the thorns.
"Chappers, this isn't of your concern, she could have killed all of us with one unintentional mood. Darkness cannot wield such the Power of the Core, for the Sword is too heavy in their hands." Seatus growled at the knight and pinned him to the wall using his thorns.
He then turned to Cleo who was still scared at him. "That coward. She always was a weak-willed one. You have one final answer to give me. Join the damned, or I let you go and never see your greed around the Core ever again. Why do you need such power, exactly? Fear can make people do silly things...are you afraid of someone, Clotho?"
"I.... I... My name is Cleo... I... Don't know who Clotho is..... I... I..." Cleo sobbed as she started crying, she dropped her axe as it's color slowly change. "I.... I... Please don't kill me... Please... I.... I'm scared of mummy and daddy... They... They always hurt me... I don't want to hurt anyone or be hurt anymore... Please... Don't hurt anyone anymore..."
Cleo continued crying, but little that she knew that she is slowly changing- back to her original self.

Questionable armor
If I look at both the Azure Guardian helm and Mighty Cobalt helm I must ask, Why oh why, can't Mighty cobalt helm users just flip down their helment in battle?
________________
Dagoon set two rocks down and started a campfire. While getting some of the materials she looked through her bag to find This with a few letters scribbled on the inside, however she could not read the language it was written in. "Hey, can you come over here and tell me what this says?"
(I changed the mask because after all, Dagoon IS wearing Heavenly Iron Armor )

The power... THE POWER!
Ikaros
Trivoc and I smiled at each other as we walked behind Arkus, who was whistling and skipping giddily. I gazed at the perfect landscape of the Sanctuary and sighed blisfully, wondering what it would be like to start a family, to settle down... I smiled. I watched as Trivoc grinned to himself, but then a wistful look appeared on his face. He appeared to be deep in thought, and a sad frown started to grow on his face. Trivoc looked at me and opened his mouth to say something, but stopped himself and turned away. I spotted him whisper something, almost like a prayer. I grew worried and pressed myself closer to him.
"Hey, is something wrong?"
-----------
Diablo
I cackled in sadistic glee as i absorbed the energies of the Skylark's crew. I had already drained the Gloaming Wildwoods, most of the Shadow Lairs, nearly a hundred Beast Dens, Emberlight, the entire Jelly Empire, and a small encampment of Isorans of their power, but it still wasn't enough. [I must have more. MORE. POWER. ] I thought as I hacked down another squad of Isorans and continued throughout the Skylark.
Ahead of me was a group of ten Guardians, a Striker, and a terrified Proto Knight. I grinned, flashing my razor-sharp teeth. The Striker charged, but i quickly sidestepped and sent my blade through his side. Kicking his corpse aside, i stalked over to the rest of them with deadly purpose. The Proto Knight rushed me and unleashed a flurry of strikes that i barely had time to block. I tripped him to the floor and held my sword against his throat. What a shame. I sensed that if this Isoran was allowed to survive, he would become a powerful adversary. I wasn't about to let that happen. The Proto Knight tried one last desperate attack with his sword, but i caught the blade in my hand and snapped it in one strike. My wing's spikes extended and skewered him. I turned to the last of the squad, ready to kill.
The Guardians formed a pyramid formation and readied their weapons, ready to attack. I laughed. They were pathetic.
I decided to try one of the new tricks i had picked up. I concentrated on their minds and built up the tension. I sent images of madness, of carnage, of destruction into their minds. I felt their brains strain, and i finally sent one last burst of power into them, frying their minds. All ten Guardians fell to the ground, dead. I smiled and absorbed the group's strength into my body. It was a technique known as Dark-Kata, a way of getting power by stealing the strength from everything around you. I inhaled sharply as i felt the rush of power spread throughout my body. Turning to the large circular door, i felt an immense power emanating from it. I smashed through the door and stared in wonder at the Skylark's engines. They pumped pure Crystal Energy thoughout the spacecraft, which could only mean it needed immense amounts of power. Inhaling, i put my hands on the engines and stole the power from them. It was nothing short of a feast, and by now, i was already a hundred times stronger than i was before. My cold laughter echoed throughout the Skylark as i imagined the destruction my newfound strength could wrought upon the Valkyries and Isorans.
I snarled in greed. [Still.... I need more. MORE!]

(( I'm probably going to have to do some yandere thing with Ikaros sooner or later... Oh well. Watch out, Triv, she's gonna do something crazy. ))

Captured (Edits all around.)
Axis looked at Kazam, but before he could say anything he found 4 rounds in his arms, legs and stomach. Thanatos laughed. "It seems I won't be the administer of your fate after all." he said to Axis. And like that he was gone, when he turned around Gwen had disappeared also. He looked forward the only person that hadn't disappeared was Kazam. "You're coming with me." he said with a grin. "You're going to pay for everything you've done.." he looked at Axis with a hatred. "The swarm may have released everyone, but you betrayed us, and allied yourself with something inhumane."
EDIT: welp Axis got ditched by everyone.

@Gzilla
((Please don't use Gwen. She's a very unique and special character, and everything she says is deliberate and nuanced.
*She wouldn't have taunted Thanatos. She kind of liked him, back when he was part of Theo.
*Gwen loves the Morai just as much as she does the Knights, and would have smiled warmly at Kazam, whom she recognizes as an honorable warrior.
*I have no idea what she was shouting about, but she rarely raises her voice, even when angry.
*She wouldn't have asked Axis to teleport to the Sanctuary and ask for help, since she doesn't want to put anyone else in danger. If Axis is going to summon help, he will have to do so of his own accord.
@Gzilla & Infernus: Gwen was supposed to vanish in this scene. Thanatos was supposed to telekinetically withdraw her power while she was still weak and on her knees. Remember, she has a 1) broken leg, 2) gashed shoulder, and 3) skewered gut. She also had to hover on her wings, which you may not realize is very exhausting for someone who hasn't exercised them much. She is quite out of breath and strength, and hence in no shape to stand, move, or speak.))
Valentine listened intently to Dagoon's description of the Clockworks. From what little she'd seen of it, it was an impressive place. Dagoon started a campfire and fished through her bag. She pulled out a Kat Hiss Mask with an inscription on it, but couldn't read it, so she asked, "Valentine, can you come over here and tell me what this says?" Valentine wandered over, took it and studied it. It was written in an Owlite script, which she could read with some competence. "Let thy mind only wander when there is no danger." It was signed by "Liminori's Gaze." Valentine looked up at Dagoon and asked, "What do you suppose this means?"

Death's prophecy
Dear mortals remember than none of you are immortal.
Every one of you shall turn to dust as your soul shall be devoured by lust.
Alas, you no longer need to fight for there is no longer a light.
Today and tomorrow you can only feel sorrow.
Haven shall struggle as Cradle will crumble.
In the end you all shall be condemned.
Souls shall be devoured and there will be no more power.
Sinfull ones shall be sacrificed until mother is satisfied.
All those who survived shall be deprived.
Listen to her words about your lords.
Valkyries shall surrender to mother's temper.
Angels shall fall from their hall.
Tainted heroes shall kill with their fierros.
Isolate your emotions and focus on your devotion.
Only now is the time for you to repay your crime.
Nyx await to end your fate.

Hello there...?
((@Kaijuhunter: Please don't sever Triv's head and turn it into Ika's teddy bear... That's just plain wrong XP. By the way, since Haven was revived after Fallen Gwen's rampage, then shouldn't Tomoki Alpha be alive as well? It'll be an awkward meeting between the three of them... *cue the overprotective sibling act XD
@Seatus: You still haven't said anything about the Elemental Dagger :/ ))
Chappers
The young Knight was afraid that Seatus was going to finish both of them off (because Chappers had intervened with something that wasn't his business), but thankfully, the Snarbolax lowered his spiked as the Morai pleaded for her life. [I wonder where the other one went, she seemed so strong since she pulled herself free from Seatus' spikes... Something tells me we don't want her wandering around Cradle]
"I.... I... My name is Cleo... I... Don't know who Clotho is..... I... I... I.... I... Please don't kill me... Please... I.... I'm scared of mummy and daddy... They... They always hurt me... I don't want to hurt anyone or be hurt anymore... Please... Don't hurt anyone anymore..." the Morai said.
"Get out of my sight. There is a bigger problem at hand...The Final has escaped his prison, having devoured some of my blood. You are free to go, but I am Sealing the Core back up." Seatus said as he turned away and freed both of them. The Isoran and the Morai dropped to the ground. Chappers landed on his belly, with his face to the ground. "Oww..." He exclaimed, his face muffled against the grass.
Chappers walked up to the female Morai (named Cleo) who was still laying on the ground. He extended his hand to her. "Let me help you get up, ma'am. You seem to have been having a very long day." He said, trying to be nice.
"Do you want to talk about what you're afraid of?" He continued, remembering Cleo mention something about her parents. "I've got some psychology knowledge that might help." Chappers continued.
Trivoc
"Hey, is something wrong?" Ikaros asked him as they continued following Arkus. Trivoc was taken by surprise, and took a while to find the words to say. "Well... It's just that..." The Knight sighed. "So many people I've ever cared about, died... My friends, my father, everyone... and there wasn't a single thing I could do about it." He paused and looked directly into Ikaros' eyes.
"I just don't want the same thing to happen to you. And I don't know if I'm strong enough to protect you, when every time I've tried to protect someone, it has always ended in failure..." He said solemnly. He hoped that Ikaros would not take it as a sign of weakness.
Arkus
The Guardian Knight could see something in the distance. He squinted. [It looks like... a Morai on the ground with... a Cobalt Knight... with a Pepperbox!] He thought. He turned around to Trivoc and Ikaros. "Hey! I've found him, follow me." The Guardian said, as he began walking towards Chappers.
[I hope that little guy hasn't gotten into too much trouble already] The Guardian thought, knowing Chappers' knack for getting into hairy situations.
((@Liminori: Just for kicks, let me give you what I think of the Order of The Stick cast, in comparison with our characters :)
Trivoc, Arkus - Roy
Archemiday, Chappers - Elan
Gwen, Theo, and Seatus - "V"
Ikaros, Dagoon - Haley
Axis - Belkan))

And they met!
((I was actually waiting this whole time for Cleo to meet Arkus... I had this thought since the first she arrived to Cradle....))
"Let me help you get up, ma'am. You seem to have been having a very long day." the knight spoke to Cleo nicely as he extended his hand for her.
"I..." Cleo mumbled as she looked at the knight's hand, Could I trust someone again? she thought to herself as she took the knight's hand. "Thanks..." she wiped her tears and smiled at the knight.
The knight then contained as he remembered something from Cleo's earlier conversation. "Do you want to talk about what you're afraid of?"
Cleo slowly nodded her head and looked at the knight's face, "I... I'm afraid... Of... Mean people and... Mummy and daddy..." she mumbled while trying to hold back the tears.
The knight then continued, "I've got some psychology knowledge that might help."
"Pe...peesi....peesi-co... What?" Cleo tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Cleo then noticed few other people walking towards them both, she held her axe's handle tightly, knowing that she couldn't trust anyone anymore.

Let's talk to the crazy lady!
((@Infernus: Let's edit our replies into each other's posts. Although, I'm going to be heading to bed soon. so if I don't reply for a prolonged period, then you know why XP))
Chappers
"I... I'm afraid... Of... Mean people and... Mummy and daddy..." Cleo told him. She didn't seem to understand what Psychology was, though.
Before they could continue the conversation, Arkus, along with Trivoc and Ikaros had arrived on the scene. "Hey Chappers, what are you doing over here?" Arkus asked him. "I found this female Morai, she seems to be in shock though." Chappers replied. He turned back to Cleo, and saw her clutching her Axe tightly. He wasn't sure i that meant fear, or intention to hurt them. "You guys might want to let me handle this." Chappers cautioned them. Arkus nodded, and the three began heading in different directions, but not too far from the Isoran and the Morai.
Chappers decided to try and defuse the situation. He sat down next to Cleo and spoke. "Let's talk about your mummy and daddy. Were they mean people?" He asked.
Sun, 03/17/2013 - 06:40
#947
Crazy lady? More like an aloof young girl... She's around 15-6..
((@Azure: I think we also have the same timezone... I don't want to sleep now ._.))
Cleo relaxed her tensed muscles a bit after the three knights have decided to go somewhere else, but she knew that they're not going anywhere far from them. She looked back at the knight who's name seems to be Chappers as one of the Guardian knight spoke to him.
"Let's talk about your mummy and daddy. Were they mean people?" Chappers asked her as he sat down next to Cleo.
"They..." Cleo sighed, she paused for a moment and continued, "They hurt me everytime... Mummy always fights with daddy and whenever I tried to make them stop fighting they would yell at me instead... And sometimes daddy would punch me..."
She took a deep breath and rubbed her red eyes, "I ran away from home... Because they were mean to me... They never allowed me to play with other people and... I never had a friend... Until recently... But he hated me and tried to kill me..."
Sun, 03/17/2013 - 06:42
#948
Mwehwhwhe...
((@Azure: Don't worry, Ikaros isn't going to do something violent, but Trivoc will think of what she will do as strange. You'll find outonce she snaps. And as for Tomoki, I'm guessing that when all the villains are defeated, the gang will return to Haven. And guess which overprotective Valkyrie sibling of Ikaros is waiting for the couple there?))
Ikaros
Trivoc looked pained, but finally answered softly, "Well... It's just that..." He sighed. "So many people I've ever cared about, died... My friends, my father, everyone... and there wasn't a single thing I could do about it." He paused and looked directly into my eyes, a somber look about him.
He continued, "I just don't want the same thing to happen to you. And I don't know if I'm strong enough to protect you, when every time I've tried to protect someone, it has always ended in failure..." Trivoc said solemnly. He glanced at me with a desperate look on his face. I hugged him and said, "Don't worry. I'm not going to die just yet." I pecked Trivoc on the cheek, then to lighten up the mood, stepped back and slapped him. "Ow!" He exclaimed. "What was that for?" I frowned at him and said, "You don't need to protect me! I'm strong enough to do that myself!" Trivoc looked startled, but i grinned. He finally noticed that I was just kidding and smiled back. Again, I pressed myself as close to him as i could and kissed him on the cheek.
Smiling, I said, "Still, I'm glad that you were thinking of me."
We were interrupted when Arkus started shouting. He whirled around to see Trivoc and I kissing and barely suppressed one of his "D'aww"'s. As Trivoc and I's faces flushed in unison, Arkus smiled. He turned back to the horizon, squinting as he crested a ridge. "Hey! I've found him, follow me." The Guardian said, and he started walking faster. Trivoc and I lingered behind. This was our alone time.

Getting help
Axis was about to be locked up but one thing they didn't expect, Diablo. A maniacal cackle surrounded the Haven, and everyone gasped in shock as the skylark powered down. "I NEED MORE!" a sinister voice shouted. Axis recognized it immediately as the fallen valkyrie. He contacted everyone in the sanctuary. "We have a problem guys, Diablo just absorbed all the energy from the skylark." he took this moment to overpower his guards, they hadn't noticed that Axis had been slowly healing the whole time, not to mention they were shocked from the fact that one being could drain the skylark in a matter of seconds. He teleported out, back to the sanctuary, "Always the messenger boy..." he thought to himself. He crashed into the sanctuary, right in front of Arkus, Trivoc, and....Ikaros? The valkyrie looked different. "Who does an outfit change before battle.." he thought to himself. "We need to get back to haven NOW!" he shouted.
((Well, since everyone else is putting their character's fighting styles, i might as well do so too.
Ikaros
She's more of the all-offensive type. She doesn't have a shield and usually relies on dodging, but will use her swords to block. While her wings are not incredibly special, they are very strong and can actually be used to whack enemies behind her. Ikaros is fine-tuned to battle, and can anticiapte her opponent's moves before they even think of it; just by noticing the little shifts in the posture and footing of her foe. Her Aepollon is incredibly powerful, but she prefers to go sword-to-sword; the honorable thing for a warrior to do.
- Ikaros' Uranus form is the epitome of purity; she is completely immune to curse and other status effects, and is quite resistant to shadow.
- Most of the time, Ikaros dual-wields her Divine Avenger and Glacius in tandem.
- As i said before, Ikaros is a melee fighter, preferring to use her swords.
- Ikaros is also proficient in martial arts, and can disarm enemies with ease.
Kirito
Kirito is a master at battle. He knows exactly when to wait for an opening and when to go in at full-throttle. Other than Diablo, he is the only one whose swordsmanship is even close to Ikaros' level; as a comparison, think of the average Skolver-Spammer. Although he has been purified, his wings retain their deadly sharpness and are still used as weapons. Kirito is extremely skilled in martial arts; the only way to truly disarm him is to kill him. He has a sort of "honorable streak"; even after his purification, he still isn't much of a team player, preferring to challenge his foes one on one. This frequently leads to him getting into sticky situations when people are stronger than him, but he is extremely resilient and never gives up.
Diablo
Oh, him. He prefers to use his telekinesis and dark powers most of the time, but will, like Kirito, has a sort of "chivalry" thing unside of him, and he can not back down from a one on one fight. However, he will do anything to win. His tricks cover a vast area, ranging from temporarily paralyzing his foes to striking with his wings to concentrating and simply frying his enemies' brains completely. He is a ruthless combatant and extremely skilled in both swordplay and marksmanship. Truly a formidable foe. ))

Ikaros
The Snarbolax named Seatus came up to Trivoc and i, grinning. He handed Triv a deadly-looking sword and said he could use it to protect me. Both of us blushed at the same time, our faces as red as fire. Trivoc nodded in thanks to the Snarbolax, and it walked away to join the others in our group.
I smiled as Trivoc tested out his new sword. I scoffed, "Boys", to which my boyfriend responded to with a laugh. I pulled him in close and said, "Just so you know, If you die... I'll kill you. Do NOT die." Trivoc laughed jovially. "Is that an order, my Queen?" I smiled at him.
"Yes, that's an order."
